Program Fee/Fundraising
  • Why: There are currently 145 athletes out for track and field this spring. As a result, we have hired 8 assistant coaches. Our team receives $100 from your initial district athletic fee, and DCSD only provides 4 assistant coaching stipends for the spring track & field season. To ensure all of our athletes have proper coaching we are asking every family on the team to pay a small additional program fee to the Track & Field Booster Club to help us cover all of our costs for the season.
  • Program Fee:
    • $75 additional program fee is used to help compensate our assistant coaches, purchase equipment, cover meet entry fees for the 2026 spring season, and cover other costs that pop up throughout the season. 
    • ​Payment can be made through this Track & Field Booster Club Link
    • ONLY 61 FAMILIES OUT OF 145 HAVE PAID THE PROGRAM FEE. PLEASE GET THIS COMPLETED ASAP!!!
